Discography

According to Hans Roelofs, Matthew Best is one of the better performers of Bruckner's religious music. His CDs with performances of Bruckner's Requiem,[1] Mass No. 2 (1882 version),[2] and Psalms 114[3] and 112[4] are as yet possibly the nec plus ultra. His CD devoted to Bruckner's motets and his performances of Masses Nos. 1[5] and 3,[6] Aequali,[7] Libera me (II),[8] Te Deum and Psalm 150[9] are also among the better ones.
